TUSHÉ

Large-fruited potential for professional growers

The «Touche» tomato, developed by Seminis (a division of Monsanto), represents a staple in professional indeterminate greenhouse production. Originating from high-standard US breeding programs, this hybrid was designed to combine exceptional commercial yield with the robust health required for intensive farming environments.

Agronomic performance

Touche excels in protected cultivation, where its genetic potential can be fully realized. Growers can expect a prolific harvest, with yields ranging from 70 to 100 metric tons per hectare. The fruit quality is consistent, featuring a distinct flattened-round shape and a rich red color that stands out on the fresh market.

• Productivity: Large fruit weight (exceeding 200 grams) makes it a preferred variety for high-value sales.
• Disease resistance: The hybrid is specifically bred to withstand Fusarium wilt and Cladosporium leaf mold, significantly mitigating risks during the long growth cycles common in film greenhouses.
• Technical specifications: With a dry matter content of 5.00–5.50%, the fruit maintains excellent texture and shelf life, which is essential for transport and logistics.

Cultivation and market positioning

Maturing in 100–120 days, Touche fits perfectly into the mid-season production window. As an indeterminate variety, it requires professional pruning and vine management. Its reputation is built on reliability; it is a stable choice for agricultural businesses that prioritize high-volume production and disease resistance without compromising the final appearance and quality of the fruit.
